Stoomlocomotief E2 1040 van de Zuid Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (ZLSM) is uit het Zuid Limburgse Eys vertrokken richting Simpelveld met de Kerst Expres.
De locomotief is in 1910 geleverd aan de Zweedse Spoorwegen, in 1998 is de locomotief naar Nederland gekomen.
Steam locomotive E2 1040 of the South Limburg Steam Train Company (ZLSM) has left Eys in South Limburg towards Simpelveld with the Christmas Express.
The locomotive was delivered to the Swedish Railways in 1910, in 1998 the locomotive came to the Netherlands.
Southern Pacific 4449, also known as the Daylight, is a GS-4 class 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotive, built in May 1941 by the Lima Locomotive Works for the Southern Pacific Railroad.
It is the only surviving example of the Southern Pacific Railroad's GS-4 class of 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotives and one of only two streamlined GS class locomotives preserved, the other being GS-6 No. 4460 at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri.
GS is an abbreviation of General Service or Golden State, the latter of which was a nickname for California, where the locomotive was used to operate in revenue service.
The Hornsby Chain-Track Tractor is the ancestor of all "caterpillars". After some petroleum-powered prototypes, in 1909 a steam-powered unit was sold for work in the Yukon Territories, where oil was scare but coal and water abundant. The steam engine (Boiler and machine aggregate) was delivered by William Foster, of Lincoln. The track system and steering was created by David Roberts at Hornsby Co.
The Roberts patent rights were sold to the Holt Co in early 1914, which was in 1925 absorbed into the Caterpillar Co.
Today, only the chain tracks of the Hornsby Steam Crawler have survived.
There is a breathtaking live steam model of this tractor at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hvzBofFfzA which helped me a lot in figuring out the right proportions.

The famous Adler Steam engine from BlueBrixx is really a great set. Motorized with 9V, running smoothly. But the weight is high, so the axles have been replaced by original Lego ones.
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western locomotive 235, built in 1865 by Dickson, and originally named "J. J. Albright" was used on the road until 1912. Pictured here after 1899.
LNER Peppercorn Class A1 60163 Tornado is a 4-6-2 steam locomotive built by the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust. Completed in 2008 at the cost of around £3 million, it is the first newly built main line steam locomotive in the UK since Evening Star in 1960
August 1986 slide - UK members, where and what cuz I can't remember:)-
From Wiki -
4767 was completed on the last day of the LMS, 31 December 1947 at Crewe Works. It was unique amongst the 842-strong class in that it featured outside Stephenson link motion in addition to other experimental features; a double chimney, Timken roller bearings throughout and electric lighting.
These modifications were part of a series of experiments by George Ivatt to improve the already excellent William Stanier-designed Black Five.
4767 was renumbered 44767 by British Railways after nationalisation in 1948. Its double chimney was removed in 1953. It was withdrawn in December 1967 after a working life of only 20 years.
"Oechsle" Schmalspurbahn - historical train.
Since the pictured needed sharpening, I used this time a different type of postprocessing :-)
The crowning segment of the line was the 95-foot (29 m) high Devil's Gate trestle which was originally constructed in 1884. Then rebuilt in 1984 by the Colorado Historical Society.
A drop of 95 feet doesn't make my head swim.

No. 90 hauls a train of logs just south of Cook Creek on the newly relocated mainline. In the distance are some of the foothills of Olympic National Park. The new grade and heavier rail was required for the diesels that would soon arrive. Regular steam operation ended in 1962, but a few steamers were used in backup service until 1967. The railroad itself survived until 1984.
This was 1988. Can't find much about it on the internet. Seemingly narrow gauge used when constructing the harbour. No railways on Crete.

Whillan Beck (4-6-2)
Year of Build: 1929
Wheel arrangement: 4-6-2
Length: 24ft
Colour: Caledonian Railway Blue.
The most recent addition to our fleet, Whillan Beck was officially launched into service this May. Originally built to run at the Ibero-American Exposition in Seville and following nearly 90 years out of action, the engine, originally named Pinta, was restored in Barcelona but hadn't been steamed. Following another two years of work by the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Preservation Society the engine is now in full working order and can be spotted at the front of our trains very regularly!

River Mite (2-8-2)
Year of Build: 1966
Wheel arrangement: 2-8-2
Length: 24ft
Colour: Furness Railway Dark Red
River Mite is owned by the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Preservation Society, and first entered service in 1967. Built by Clarkson’s of York using components from River Esk’s steam tender, the engine made history when it was delivered to Ravenglass by traction engine. River Mite attracted a great deal of publicity when new, her distinctive Indian Red Livery from the old Furness Railway sets her apart from similiar River Esk features. She has travelled as far as Dresden in Germany as an ambassador for the R & ER.
I recall in the fifth grade the teacher in the late fifties allowed us to see from our school windows the last voyage of a steam engine. Could this be the one?
